Most economic way of travelling in Tokyo

Hi Asher,

There used to be a package + Narita Express package but this is no longer on sale. Instead you can buy a discounted NEX return ticket. For travel between Tokyo and Narita Airport, the JR Pass also covers this route.

In Tokyo you may want to look at buying local tickets or day passes, such as the Tokyo Metro Pass.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel

Thanks for your reply, another question I have, is there such a thing to buy a return ticket from Tokyo to Kyoto, using the shinkansen train or only JR pass will cover that, if the answer is yes, how much it costs? obviously exclude the Nozomi Shinkanzen.If I am going to use my JR Pass only for travelling from Tokyo to Kyoto and back, is it cheaper just to buy the ticket each way or better to get the 7 day JR Pass?

Thanks
Asher

Hi Asher,

A return ticket basically is the price of two one way tickets.

The cost of a return Tokyo - Kyoto is comparable with the price of a JR Pass. Basically the JR Pass is the better option if you plan to do any additional travel with it as well.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel
